Project set up

Follow the below steps to create a React application:

• Add APIs and Environment variables: Add APIs manually or upload a Postman collection and start integrating API into your app.
• Components: Create, map form existing components, Edit ( component name/prop name ) or detach the components easily, rather than moving back to Figma or code manually.
